Hi--
I'm logging into a remote OSF/1 3.0 box running Enhanced Security using
the deslogin package. The deslogin daemon is a telnetd/login replacement
that execs a shell directly. More specifically, it does not invoke
login(1) at all. When I try to su during a deslogin, I get the following:
su: may not be called from rc script
This doesn't occur on OSF/1 boxes with base security. So, my question
then is what do I need to do in deslogind to allow su to work? Some
specific pointers to programming information would be really helpful; a
code-level explanation of what login(1) does under Enhanced Security
would be even better. I'll send diffs for deslogin to this list with my
summary if I actually get this thing fixed.
Kind of figures that Enhanced Security only allows su to work over an
insecure network link... Go DEC! Hoot! Cheer!
